The red poppy is a nationally recognized symbol of sacrifice worn by Americans since World War I to honor those who served and died for our country in all wars. It reminds Americans of the sacrifices made by our veterans while protecting our freedoms.  Our American Legion Auxiliary Unit is proud to host this annual 5K Run/Walk. All proceeds go to support veterans and their families.  Registration and the race finish line are located near the historic Onarga American Legion Post 551 building, located on the eastern side of Onarga's Durham Park. Runners and walkers will follow a flat, paved route around the park and through the quaint streets of this small town. Members of the Onarga American Legion family will be on site to direct, support, and cheer on our participants!  All ages are invited to join! Strollers are welcome.

Frontline OCR is more than a race. It's a tribute. The Frontline OCR Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This event was created to honor the grit and sacrifice of military personnel, veterans, and first responders by putting participants through an obstacle course that mirrors the physical and mental battles faced in the line of duty. Every obstacle is purpose-built to challenge your limits and reflects the toughness required on the real frontline. There are no shortcuts. No scheduled breaks. Just you, the course, and the chance to prove what you're made of. This is not your average race. It's a test of courage, resilience, and readiness. Prove you belong. Earn your badge on May 23rd, 2026. Join us on the Frontline, or sit on the sideline.

Bike the wonderful Tunnel Hill State Trail starting in Vienna, Illinois (Routes: 10 miles, 20 miles, and 40 miles). See amazing sights, old railroad trestles, and even a 500+ foot train tunnel you can ride through on the 20 and 40-mile routes. This ride is presented by Revive Vienna. The ride will start at 9:30 AM. Try to arrive an hour early to sign the waiver and get your t-shirt. We will let the 40-mile group start first, then after a few minutes the 20-mile group will start, and then after them, the 10-mile group will start. The trail has two-way traffic - make sure you ride in a straight line to let others pass coming from the opposite direction. This is a ride, not a race. This is not a timed event. The ride is an out-and-back event. For each mileage-based ride, we will have signs telling you where to turn around.
